Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday railed against a City Council bill aimed at increasing police transparency ahead of an expected vote on the measure this week.
Adams charged that the legislation that would require the the NYPD to document lower-level civilian stops, dubbed the “How Many Stops Act,” would endanger public safety by jamming up the NYPD with mountains of additional paperwork.
“We are about to pass a bill that is going to damage our ability to keep the city safe because of the police resources that are going to be used,” Adams said during his weekly off-topic news conference at City Hall on Tuesday.
